This cabin did not disappoint. On the wasilof river with private dock. Immediately started fishing and catching salmon. So peaceful and quiet. Sitting on the dock drinking coffee and watching eagles fly over. Definitely would go back here

Perfect for our family of 5

Exceptionally clean, plenty of space and beautiful views. The hosts did a fantastic job of communicating with us and sharing information about the area. We caught some fish off the dock, but also had the opportunity to use their fishing equipment (poles, nets, and coolers) to fish on the Kenai. Overall, it was a great experience and we would do it all over again!

A true gem

We loved our stay at Drift Boat Pass. The house was perfect for our family of 5. We were able to relax, enjoy fishing, have bonfires and just soaking in the beauty of Alaska! We are keeping this on our “must return” list. Mike was so great to deal with. Our 4 year old just loved him! A true Alaskan gem!

Perfection in paradise

This home is directly on the river. The dock allows you to watch eagles in and out of water several times a day. The moose come out in afternoons across river. The host is Fabulous. We spent 14 days in this great state and this was our favorite home. Get ready to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

Fabulous spot for family fishing vacation

We loved our stay at the Drift Boat Pass! We were there for 5 nights with our family, several of whom fish and a few who do not. The house was in a stunningly beautiful spot on the river, and the dock was awesome for fishing as well as just enjoying the view from the benches. We caught fish every day we were there, and enjoyed being able to pop down to the river bank to drop a line in after the day’s other activities. Kim and Mike were so kind and welcoming. They had fishing gear available at the house and were a great source of information during our stay. We would definitely stay again!

Magical setting, well equipped home, helpful managers.

I was traveling with my husband and 3 sons ages 17 - 25. We were awestruck by the view from the kitchen and living room. The home was clean, spacious and well equipped. There are a few flights of stairs right off the patio that lead to a private dock. Mike came out and showed us how to rig a set up for the fish that were running and even brought us some bait. A great neighbor to have.. We went hiking and exploring and on a few tours in the area but each night we would return to fish from the dock.. Every night at about 8 PM someone in our party would catch a 10-15 lb salmon. While fishing we saw bald eagles, seal and moose from the dock. We had a wonderful time. We had very spotty internet service, and Verizon did not have very good coverage in the house, but on the dock by the river I could read all my email. I know people don't go to Alaska to be online but we did have a few things that we needed to respond to. The house itself was perfect for us but I would suggest having a supply of extra blankets in the house. Even with the internet issues I would stay there again, Mike and Kim went out of their way to supply fishing gear, coolers filet knives and their knowledge of the area. If you have time to visit Homer, it is absolutely beautiful. The best food we had anywhere in Alaska was at The Flats Bistro, about 15 minutes away from the house.

Amazing!!

This is a wonderful place! We greatly enjoyed our stay here in July 2023. Our kids love to fish, and Mike had all of the fishing gear set up, taught us how to catch salmon off the dock, and also how to fillet them. That was such a gift!! They fished many hours during our stay there and caught several salmon. The house was lovely, comfortable, great rooms. Also really enjoyed the PitBoss grill and outdoor deck area. Appreciated the close proximity to many places we visited during our stay there. Kim and Mike were both great with communication before and during our stay. Hope to stay here again in the near future!! A truly great VRBO!!

One of the highlights of our trip.

Had an awesome time staying at the Drift Boat Pass. Mike let us use all his fishing equipment and supplied us with bait. Caught several salmon right off the dock as we talked to the guided drift boats floating by. Couldn't ask for any better views. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great Location and service

Very nice , clean, and located on the Kasilof river. The owner set us up to fish right off the dock and was very hospitable. He also set up new rods and bait for us to fish for Silvers once the season opened. Very well taken care of all around. Highly recommend!

July on the Kasilof

Far enough out of town to be enjoyable but town is only 20 minutes away. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time here. Watching the river flow by is relaxing to watch and hear. Caught fish every day we were there. Mike had the gear set up and ready to go. He was also there to assist if you had any questions but was never intrusive. We felt at home here and would absolutely come here again.

Nice dock and house.

Wonderful location. Both owners were absolutely great! They had fishing supplies ready for us. We didn’t catch anything from the dock but we loved the view watching the eagles and spotting a seal. Only thing was that there was no wifi which one person in our group needed to get a couple of things done.
